My take on the pure steel invisible stalker idea.

[Blackyzilla]

Looks like a fun deck. But wait {Slagstorm}  {Black Sun Zenith} would wreak this deck with protection maybe a few {Negate} or {Mana leak} might help you out here

[TJKoer]

Yea I haven't ran into board wipes very much where I'm playing. I equip shields quickly to try and avoid that. I will probably sideboard some mana leaks and negate though.

[Blackyzilla]

I just believe if your running blue you should have some counters

[TJKoer]

True statement.

[Validan]

I think this may want to use {ponder} and some sort of field control

[Validan]

I'm thinking {dispatch} or {oblivion ring} could be good...and I'm wondering why run {nim death mantle} if the creatures lose the human trait (at least I think they do)

[TJKoer]

Nim was my idea at avoiding death of something or more like bringing it back if it does die. Mostly I just reequip when it comes back onto the field with whatever I saved.

Also I don't ponder because most people I play run modern. So I beat on them with a deck that is legal in both.

You need swords!!! Mortar pod and atleast 2 mox opals and etched champion!

I don't play modern but why wouldn't ponder be legal it's M12

Have you thought about {trinket Mage}, {auriok edgewright}, {sylvok lifestaff} (great with {mortarpod}), {mirran crusader} depending on budgeting because they have evasion but besides that rare creature the other cards are cheap. You can also use {moorland haunt} to generate evasion creatures though I find I don't have trouble with people killing off my {invisible stalkers} which is why I was wondering about the deathmantle. I've been running a budgeted puresteel deck as well

[TJKoer]

{ponder} is on the banned list for modern format.

Nim mostly brings back the paladin or a memnite for block fodder.  I just pile the equipment on stalker and attack away. Two trep blade or flail on the one stalker hurts a lot

[Validan]

So how consistent do you find tho deck to be? I was playing with invisible stalker and the trepanation blade but I didn't find it did as much consistent damage as dagger, flail or cleaver flail
